A  Suggestion 

The  Guide  Post  may  be  used  as  the  basis  for  a  Missionary  Program,  the  leader  asking 
the  questions. 

It  will  be  helpful  to  have  a  chart  prepared,  showing  the  Five  Year  Program  figures 
on  page  7,  and  a  companion  chart  showing  the  figures  for  your  state.  (Send  to  your 
State  Secretary  for  information.)

WHAT 

WHAT  IS  THE  WOMAN'S  AMERICAN  BAPTIST  FOREIGN  MISSION  SOCIETY? 

It  is  a  Society  comprising  all  women  members  of  Baptist  Churches  in  the  territory 
of  the  Northern  Baptist  Convention,  and  all  women  contributing  to  the  Society.  It  re¬ 
ceived  its  present  name  in  1914,  when  the  Woman’s  Baptist  Foreign  Missionary  Society 
and  the  Woman’s  Baptist  Foreign  Missionary  Society  of  the  West,  both  organized  in  1871, 
were  united  into  one  Society. 

WHAT  RELATION  DOES  IT  SUSTAIN  TO  THE  DENOMINATION  GENERALLY? 

The  Northern  Baptist  Convention  is  a  corporate  body,  organized  in  1907,  to  pro¬ 
mote  the  unity  and  efficiency  of  the  denomination.  Its  co-operating  societies  are  the: 
American  Baptist  Foreign  Mission  Society 
American  Baptist  Home  Mission  Society 
American  Baptist  Publication  Society 
Woman’s  American  Baptist  Foreign  Mission  Society 
Woman’s  American  Baptist  Home  Mission  Society 
The  important  committees  of  the  Northern  Baptist  Convention  are 
(  1  )  The  Executive. 

(2)  The  Finance,  which  receives  from  the  co-operating  societies  their  budgets  for 
the  coming  year  and  prepares  from  them  a  total  budget  which  it  presents  to  the  Con¬ 
vention  for  action.

(3)  The  Apportionment  Committee,  which  receives  from  the  Convention  the  part 
of  this  total  budget  which  is  to  be  apportioned  to  the  churches,  divides  it  among  the  var¬ 
ious  states  and  sends  to  the  State  Apportionment  Committees  their  proper  amounts. 

(4)  The  Five  Year  Program  Committee. 

WHAT  FORM  OF  ORGANIZATION  HAS  THE  W.  A.  B.  F.  M.  S.? 

A  President,  two  Vice-Presidents,  a  Recording  Secretary,  and  twenty-seven  other 
members  constitute  the  Board  of  Managers.  These  officers  are  elected  annually,  and 
are  unsalaried. 

The  Society  is  organized  in  two  departments,  the  Foreign  Department  and  the  Home 
Administration  Department,  each  with  a  Vice-President  at  its  head. 

The  Foreign  Department  has  in  charge  the  direction  of  the  work  on  the 
foreign  field,  and  the  examination  and  recommendation  of  missionary  candidates.  The 
members  of  the  Board  from  Boston  and  vicinity,  with  the  Foreign  Vice-President  as  Chair¬ 
man,  constitute  the  Foreign  Department.  The  Foreign  Secretary  and  the  Associate  Foreign 
and  Candidate  Secretary,  Executive  Officers  of  the  Foreign  Department,  also  the  Treasurer, 
have  headquarters  in  the  Ford  Building,  Boston,  Mass. 

Since  the  work  in  foreign  fields  is  so  closely  linked  with  that  of  the  American  Bap¬ 
tist  Foreign  Mission  Society,  it  is  a  great  advantage  that  both  Societies  have  headquarters 
in  the  same  building.  The  hearty  sympathy,  co-operation  and  wise  counsel  of  the  Board 
of  Managers  of  the  A.  B.  F.  M.  S.  are  of  great  value.  This  co-operation,  and  that  of  the

Reference  Committees  on  the  field,  lessen  the  responsibility  and  strengthen  the  work  of 
our  Foreign  Department. 

The  Home  Administration  Department  has  charge  of  Home  Organization  and 
Administration,  Field  Work  and  the  Publication  of  Literature.  The  members  of  the 
Board  from  Chicago  and  vicinity,  with  the  Home  Administration  Vice-President  as  Chair¬ 
man,  constitute  the  Home  Administration  Department.  The  Home  Administration  Sec¬ 
retary,  the  General  Field  Secretary  and  the  Publisher,  executive  officers  of  this  department, 
have  headquarters  at  450  E.  30th  St.,  Chicago,  111. 

The  Home  Administration  Department  is  charged  with  enlisting  the  women  in  its 
territory  in  the  missionary  cause;  unifying  the  work  of  the  Districts;  securng  volunteers 
for  the  foreign  field;  publishing  reports  and  literature  for  information  and  inspiration; 
raising  money  necessary  to  support  the  work,  and  generally,  stimulating  interest  and  in¬ 
creasing  enthusiasm  and  love  for  missions. 

WHAT  RESPONSIBILITIES  are  committed  to  the  constituency  generally?  The  task 
is  so  large,  and  the  opportunities  so  numerous  that  the  territory  has  been  divided  into 
ten  districts,  each  one  with  an  organization  modeled  after  the  National  Society,  and  with 
the  responsibility  for  developing  its  own  constituency.  All  District  Officers  are  unsalaried. 

Each  District  is  responsible  for  a  definite  share  of  the  work  of  the  Society  on  the 
foreign  field,  including  the  salaries  of  certain  missionaries  and  the  support  of  certain 
schools,  hospitals,  buildings,  native  evangelists,  and  other  workers.

Thirty  four  states  are  included  in  the  territory  of  the  Society.  In  these  are  1 08 
State  Secretaries,  Senior,  Junior,  Young  Woman  s  and  Children  s  and  680  Association 
Secretaries.  Through  them  it  is  possible  to  reach  every  member  of  the  Constituency 
of  the  Society.  Nineteen  of  the  states  are  themselves  organized. 

It  is  our  aim  to  have  a  Woman  s  Missionary  Society  in  every  church,  and  to  have 
the  young  women  and  children  organized  for  missionary  instruction  and  service. 

The  W.  A.  B.  F.  M.  S.  promotes  its  work  for  young  women  jointly  with  the  W.  A.  B. 
H.  M.  S.  under  an  organization  called  the  WORLD  WIDE.  GUILD,  with  Miss  Alma  J.  Noble, 
Executive  Secretary,  and  Miss  Helen  Crissman,  Field  Secretary. 

The  W.  A.  B.  F.  M.  S.  has  a  Committee  of  three  on  its  young  woman  s  work.  These, 
with  three  from  the  W.  A.  B.  H.  M.  S.  and  three  members  at  large  from  the  World  Wide 
Guild  Commission,  to  which  plans  relative  to  the  work  of  the  Guild  are  submitted  and 
from  which  recommendations  go  to  the  two  National  Societies. 

The  children’s  work  is  conducted  through  an  organization  known  as  the  Crusaders, 
which  works  in  harmony  with  the  Sunday  School,  and  aims  to  unify  the  existing  forms 
of  children’s  work. 

WHAT  OF  THE  FUTURE? 

The  FIVE  YEAR  PROGRAM  of  the  Northern  Baptist  Convention  has  been  adopted

girls  in  the  Northern  Baptist  Convention,  it  is  evident  that  the  Five  Year  Program  is  not 
the  ideal,  but  a  good  foundation  on  which  to  stand  in  aiming  at  the  ideal. 

The  Five  Year  Program  calls  for  350  missionaries  under  the  direction  of  the  W.  A. 
B.  F.  M.  S.  in  1921,  and  at  least  $500,000.00  for  endowment  or  equipment  of  our  educa¬ 
tional  institutions  on  the  foreign  field  before  that  date.

WHERE 

WHERE  DO  THE  MISSIONARIES  WORK? 

The  Woman’s  American  Baptist  Foreign  Mission  Society  has  172  missionaries  in 
Burma,  Assam,  South  India,  China,  Japan,  the  Philippine  Islands,  France  and  Africa. 
It  has  twelve  hospitals  and  dispensaries,  eight  doctors,  fifteen  trained  nurses.  It  supports 
twenty-five  kindergartens,  eight  hundred  thirty-nine  schools  for  primary  and  intermediate 
pupils,  twenty-eight  girls’  boarding  schools,  five  Bible  Woman’s  training  schools.  In  addi¬ 
tion  to  the  Bible  training  schools  there  are  at  least  six  other  Woman’s  training  schools 
and  two  kindergarten  training  schools.  More  than  35,000  pupils  are  in  these  schools. 
Native  helpers  are  a  great  factor  in  the  conduct  of  the  foreign  work.  More  than  three 
hundred  Bible  women  render  faithful  service.  In  addition,  there  are  many  native  teachers, 
of  whose  number  we  have  no  record.  Some  of  them  give  only  part  time  while  others  render 
full  time  service. 

The  missionaries’  work  may  be  classified  as  evangelistic,  educational  and  medical. 
It  is  all,  however,  strongly  evangelistic.
